PATH TO THE BOOT | The latest with LSU recruiting and 5-star edge rusher Colin Simmons

Even though we are so close to college football season we can almost taste it, this season, just like all seasons, is recruiting season. LSU hosted a huge weekend event for some of the top talent in the 2024 and 2025 classes called Bayou Splash Weekend. Following that weekend LSU flipped an offensive lineman committed to Ole Miss and added an in-state offensive tackle to bolster up a thin position group in the 2024 class. But who else stood out that weekend? Locked On's official recruiting insider, Brian Smith, joins Caroline Fenton of Locked On LSU to break down the latest of which recruits have their eye on the Tigers and which recruits are being eyed by LSU.

Plus, one of the most highly anticipated announcements of the 2024 class is happening on Thursday afternoon. Five-star edge rusher Colin Simmons out of Texas has narrowed down his search to LSU, the University of Texas Longhorns, and the Miami Hurricanes. Where is he leaning? What could he add to an already stout LSU defense?

Finally, the college football world has been changed forever with the collapse of the Pac-12 which brings up several questions of the future: what does a twelve team College Football Playoff look like with just four "power" conferences? How will West Coast schools coordinate weekly travel to the midwest? Where does this leave Oregon State and Washington State? But more importantly, as far as Brian Smith is concerned, how has this effected recruiting and how will it continue to effect recruiting in the future?
